MY PASSION

“What we know and do is just a fraction of what we are capable of. I love to unlock the potential of leaders to realise positive change in the ones they lead and subsequently the world we/they live in. I’m passionate about discovering new ways to look at issues and finding ways to (re‑)energise leaders.”

MY BELIEF

“I believe leadership can be much easier than most people project it to be. It’s about a basic understanding of what makes other people put their passion into their jobs and how you can create the circumstances in which you and they can thrive. Acquiring that basic understanding is just a matter of life-long learning. Humour and joy are allowed.”
